I'm also looking for any tips on the texture. I was able to find a store that had it in stock and would like to spray it tonight. I intend on practicing on a chunk of plexiglass before moving onto the trim piece. I've never used the stuff before.
Along with the texture, I bought a can of plastic adhesion promoter. I'm not sure if or when it should be used.
Thanks

Adhesive promoter will work great. I usually scuff the plastic before applying.
I use SEM's texture coating. Most of the earlier stuff I did was garbage, but after a few times, it became much easier. I would wait 10-15 minutes before adding the next coat.
I would practice on wood, too.
Good luck, your stuff is coming out very nice.

It's done! Well... almost. the trim came out so good that I decided to paint the vents too. They are drying now. I felt comfortable with the texture only after one practice run. It was pretty easy to apply and the directions were good. Especially when it says that the texture can be controled by the distance away from the piece. It's rather uniform and very difficult to tell from the OEM piece.

Thanks for all of the help and support. Hopefully I will be able to share some more projects soon.

SEM products. The product number for the texture is 3985(3) where the (3) indicates an aerosol can. There is another number (4) which indicates a quart presumably for a spray gun and compressor application. Here's a link to the manufacturer's web page.
